A perfect skincare routine is something we all dream of – especially as we get older.
However, to work out the ideal skincare steps, it often means trying out things that end up wasting your time and money.
To make life easier, former beauty industry worker Sarah Palmyra shares her insider skincare tips on Youtube, where she’s amassed an audience of 151K followers.
And a recent video, looking at ‘red flag’ ingredients to avoid, can help you shop smarter when it comes to your skin.
As well as steering clear of certain recommendations, she says the way you use your products may also be affecting your results.
Up-selling ‘unnecessary’ products
Product recommendations can be useful, but if it’s for an ‘unnecessary’ product, such as eye-cream, Sarah says that it can come across as though sales associates are trying to up-sell.
‘I love eye cream but it’s definitely not a necessity,’ says Sarah.
‘Sunscreen, retinol, and hydrating serums will go such a long way you may not ever want [an eye cream].’
